Emusevier- at it again

Finding new and important markets to serve.

I note that they are merely dilettantes in the publishing game. Elsevier had a patriotic gun show biz, but I bet pros like Emusevier are running suitcase nukes.

Let’s look at some titles. Don’t read that too quickly, filthbots.

Sketchy Sketch of the Politico Timeline

They debut to denunciations of Drudge-ry and Note-ism (accurate), noted by Talking Points Memo and anyone with two neurons trading action potentials.

During the primaries and election, Talking Points Memo amplifies and inflates countless Politico “scoops” because TPM decides to be exclusively “horse race” in their coverage. TPM gets some deserved scorn from The Daily Howler to the sound of one Pinko clapping. Nobody bothers to notice. Nobody bothers to Deep Thought “I wish Josh wouldn’t link The Politico so much.”

Post-election, Talking Points Memo has swung back to issues of policy, as Josh Marshall (and the rest of us) is rightly crapping his Memo pants over the ongoing economic lava attack. In doing so, they have rediscovered the fact that The Politico is just terrible.

How did we end up with this 900 pound gorilla fart under the covers? Politico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exploding Fish Heads

From Think Pro’:

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who remains undecided about the bill, said he opposes money going to research projects at the National Institutes of Health and about $13 billion for Pell grants that help students pay for college. Nelson says the measures are worthy but do not belong in legislation designed to stimulate the economy.

Does Ben Nelson know what an “economy” is and what “stimulus” means?

I can’t say anymore with setting off the shrill-choking device. And urging Nebraska to be wiped from the pages of history.

They Wrote the Book On Mealy-Mouthed

Newspaper endorsements are always fun. Especially when they play the game of high centrism. Allow us to bathe in the finely turned rhetoric of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, RE: their endorsement of one Dave Reichert (R-WA).

In the 8th Congressional District, Eastside and neighboring voters have a race that is more competitive than most, with two capable candidates. For those of us who think that there should be strong reasons to kick out an incumbent trying to represent a diverse district well, Dave Reichert is the choice for re-election. We also think that preserving and encouraging the development of a rare voice of moderation within the Republican Party is important at a time of almost unremitting polarization.[PP adds: Why? Cannot a [D] serve all his or her constituents?]

We would be perfectly comfortable with his opponent, Democrat Darcy Burner, who is smart, well informed and progressive. Her views are much closer to our own on domestic and foreign policy, and we supported her in 2006. [PP adds: well that just sucks. Let's cut off our noses to spite our faces] But this is not an ideological choice.

In the past two years, Reichert has grown. When he was re-elected, we urged him to emphasize independence from the White House. We also suggested that he maintain his commitment to the environment and to mature in a new role as a member of the minority party.

He says it was hard to become a member of the minority, but he seems to have handled it well. Especially concerning the environment, where he has staked out moderate positions at odds with his party. He was one of the more progressive members in either party on farm and food policy.

Reichert was absent without leave from good sense during the worst periods of the Iraq War. We will never agree with his anti-choice views. But he has shown a willingness and capacity to hear opposing positions, to learn from the discussions and to work across political divisions. As a Republican of moderation, he is an endangered species worth preserving.

My emphases. I really haven’t read anything so…what’s the word??

Dear Washington, for the sake of some hypothetical high-mindedness, we urge you to forgo a woman’s right to choose, and decency on foreign and domestic policy. MAKES SENSE! DIAL IT UP!

Cheap Thought

If something happens or in fact doesn’t happen to my wiener, this is a national health emergency.

If a straw woman decides that she has a strawheadache and wants to straw abort her straw baby at 5 years old, then we should probably just ban abortion completely.

Captain O’s one major faileroo last night was to say “Dear John McCain, you keep using the words “difficult choice” or “difficult decision” when you mean “c***s ain’t ****.”

The Nutter

The Nutter brings some Nutter Butter to the WaPo:

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen wrote that McCain choosing her was like Caligula sending his horse to the Roman Senate. This morning, I went to the WaPo and sent him an email, listing my name as Caligula and contact as Caligula@aol.com. Only four words:

Some fucking horse, dickhead.

Wow, did that feel good.

Looks like Newsbusters is driving this train. Seems like analogies are tough for the N. Butter crowd. Here’ some Newsbusters:

Imagine the outrage in feminist circles if a conservative columnist had mockingly analogized a sitting Dem governor to an animal. But Richard Cohen has said as much of Sarah Palin. And I predict you won’t hear a peep from the Kim Gandys or Naomi Wolffs of the world—much less from their allies in the MSM.

So this is a free pass on McCain as Caligula? Does Finkelstein think Caliggy was a good guy? I suspect it is a rhetorical trap to create some Obama:unnamed animal equivalency.

The Unannotated Liberal Style

It is too obvious, and needs only fictional support for the obviousness to be even more apparent than is already deeply obvious. I think we’re toast.

Observe the Conservapedia identifying the clotheslessness of the American Liberal, né Progressive.

Quoth Conservapedia: The style of a liberal often includes these characteristics:

1. Uses the term “controversial” to describe what he opposes (e.g., classroom prayer), but not to describe what he supports (e.g., theory of evolution)

C. I think Jesus Christ should be praised in our schools by all students, regardless of their personal beliefs.

L. That seems illegal, and controversial to boot.

C. [Does shocker gesture in mock surprise]

2. A lack of originality and a predominance of copying and imitating.

C. Hey check out this Malkin post with 500 trackbacks!

L. I agree with this digby post on a topic very important to me, the direction of our country.

C. !!!

3. Virtually never criticize hateful comments or behavior by a fellow liberal.

C. Why have you not commented about serious problems at Republic of Dogs?

L. I was unaware of such a post.

C. Your silence on this issue spe- er, is very telling.

4. Obsession with the media, and even the few conservatives in the media.

L. Why are David Brooks and Bill Kristol wrong all the time? Also, the entire network devoted to Conservatives, Fox News?

C. You want to have their babies. You sicken me.

5. Like to use the phrase “Silence Speaks Volumes”

L. Hey, are you going to respond to the contradictory nature of issues 5 and 7?

C. I’m not going to dignify that.

L. Whatever flo’s yer bo. Anyhoo, I’m going to this talk tonight, Joe Silence is going to do some readings from The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, entitled “Silence [muffled]…”

Something New!

For Pugsley to pee on. I see Mendacious D. has been Ombudsmøøsing in person, or some other møøses of vandalous natures? Happy Fourth!

Hey, what do you know, this page has a lot of the same exact words as this page- SPOOKY! Which is chicken, which is egg? On a sheet cake of giant racist chunderwaddery, casual plagiarism is the lemony icing.

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN is reporting something wrong. Thank God. With another post later as an update, that is two free posts today. My problem is being part of the solution because being part of the problem is the solution for not having stuff to post about. Twice. When will I learn that. CNN is wrong. Constantly. Hey, chunderknobs, I get CNN. I don’t need the rerun. Why must you get constantly coblogged?
